UPDATE: November 7, 2026 - Well it did not take long for things to go haywire since the Midterm elections. According to the secret service a man from Venezuela was arrested near the White House with several weapons, at least one of which appearing to be a high powered rifle with a scope. As to the man who allegedly planned to assassinate the President, according to the Department of Homeland (DHS) the man entered the country as an illegal alien in 2024, under President Buddy Biden, was arrested but later released. DHS did not state the circumstances permitting the man to be released within the interior of the United States. It should not be an epiphany that Buddy Biden commissioned a form of open borders during his presidency which extended through 2024. Is it reasonable to expect more of the same given the Blue Wave of the midterm elections? Yep. So where was this man living since 2024? How was this man surviving economically since 2024? And how did an illegal alien come into possession of these expensive weapons, especially the high powered rifle? We do know that the Democrats have been housing illegal immigrants in apartments and high end hotels accompanied with preloaded debit cards, at one point, up to $1,200 or more upon entry. Expect the flow of illegal aliens from south of the border to spike as the Democrats have not tried to hide their disdain for border controls. Expect the doling out of dollars to these same illegal immigrants by newly elect Texas governor Gina Hinojoso a Latina Democrat. Let's sum it up. Wll Illegal immigration surge via the Texas and California border? Yep. How about free housing for south of the border illegal immigrants in Texas? Yep. Resumption of the preloaded debit card program for south of the border illegal immigrants in Texas up to $1,200 or more, followed by monthly deposits? Yep. Increased flow of fentanyl into the interior of the United States via the Texas border? Yep. Will Texas to become part of Mexico? Yep. And most importantly, do you get to pay for it, while maybe yourself penniless, unemployed, homeless, or otherwise working for minimum wage? Yep. Friends. How many of us have them? Friends...
Introduction:
The public perception of USA government corruption is the highest its been in twenty (20) years. This public corruption perception set the stage for the midterm elections which, to say the least, did not bode well for the republican party (GOP).
Blue Wave Red Sunset
The votes are in from the November 3, 2026 midterm elections. The record high midterm voter turnout has issued a resounding message to the GOP by the Democrats taking both the House and the Senate with impressive outcomes. The numbers themselves are, perhaps, not as impressive as specific changes in certain states e.g. Texas and South Carolina are the highlights. Both Texas and South Carolina, historically, been very Deep Red predictable states which have, now, been flipped as Blue states. And who handed victory to the Democrat party candidates in these Deep Red states? None other than GOP voters themselves. Wow.
South Carolina has been so predictably Red for so long that this state is usually called very early in the election cycle for the GOP candidates. 2026 was different. Most notable is the fact that the late Lindsey Graham was not on the ticket in South Carolina given his passing earlier in the year. Graham’s sister, who occupied his seat following his death, was on the ticket e.g. Darline Graham. Unfortunately for Darline Graham she did have the luxury of serving more than twenty (20) years in office as did her brother Lindsey, nor does Darline garner the respect and influence within the GOP and their voting base. So the outcome equated to Democrat Senator Annie Andrews winning a Senate seat in the state of South Carolina, a feat not accomplished by a candidate since 1998 – just shy of three (3) decades ago.
A glimpse at Texas is just as bad as South Carolina if not worse. Texas does not do Blue. Well at least Texas did not do Blue until November 3, 2026. The Red carnage in Texas is everywhere, most notably with GOP incumbent Governor Greg Abbott ousted by newly elect Governor Gina Hinojosa by more than 700,000 votes. Wow (again). Then there is James Talarico who defeated GOP incumbent Ken Paxton by an eye popping 1.2 million votes. These two major defeats come despite the millions of dollars spent by the GOP campaign engine to keep Paxton and Abbott in office. Ok, so what is going on in Texas? And what do these pair of upsets mean for the border situation with Texas and Mexico? More to the point, how will these upsets impact, if at all, the aggressive efforts of Texas to control and suppress the flow of drugs, in particular fentanyl into the country by way of the Texas border? And as to the elephant in the room, is part of Texas on the verge of ceding to Mexico? One has to wonder if the voting base understood the significance of these questions. There is another more probable scenario - voters registered their voices more so against the GOP incumbents rather and for the issues at stake. Or perhaps the voting block, in question, simply does see the foregoing issues as worthy of concern when compared, side by side, against the more relaxed view of America being a country of immigrants, and the idea that immigrants have a Right to enter the USA, legal or illegal, pursuant more prosperous economic opportunity.
Where to Next Socialism?
That seems like a fair quesion given the election of socialist Mayor elect Janeese Lewis George in Washington, D.C. At the end of the day, the GOP is forced to wrestle with ideology which they themselves spun into motion, many decades ago, pursuant unencumbered foreign labor. Couple the foreign labor issue with the Mexico dispute from the Mexican American War (1845-1848) ending with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and annexation of Texas once belonging to Mexico e.g. The Nueces Strip.
The fact of the matter is that the GOP has been losing the battle of public opinion for years. Thus, the November 3, 2026 Blue Wave election outcome should be of no surprise. The governing philosophy, at least on paper, for the GOP just does not resonate well with the general public, especially near a voting cycle. The GOP is typically a staunch advocate for open markets, small government, freedom of religion and speech as a subset of the U.S. Constitutional Rights. Notwithstanding the same, the GOP has a bit of a history of not being able to decipher friends from enemies nor actually practicing what they preach.
Take for example, Rep. Tom McClintok (R-CA) defending the alleged incendiary statements of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), against the USA government, as freedom of speech, yet Legalhotwater has been censored and continues to battle censorship issues driven by the GOP for our efforts in keeping the public aware of the activities of its government – a Right (as opposed to a privilege) protected by the other Constitutional Right e.g. Freedom of the Press. When government decides behind closed doors when to adhere to Constitutional Rights based upon political clout and the depth of one’s pockets, it is no wonder why the perception of government corruption is nearly 90% - the highest it, too, has been in decades. Meanwhile, the WOKE-ism folks, and their movement to disenfranchise any and everyone who does not side with their ideology, are allowed to advance any and all sorts of speech irrespective of how incendiary, and derogatory while concurrently advancing economics favoring that ideology, which incidentally runs counter to the alleged Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) public policies evolved since COVID-19.
At some point, White America is going to need to come to terms with the slavery history of USA and find a way to govern, going forward, in the face of hyper-sensitive public opinion - while there still is a country to govern. And with more than $40 Trillion in debt and social issue after social issue, it would seem that the USA is rapidly approaching the once thought - cliff of the earth - synonymous to walking the plank.
